Hi,

I would recommend to you widget API method provided for these:

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/widgets-api/index.html?class=CQ.WCM

getMode() - Returns either the current WCM mode: MODE_EDITMODE_PREVIEW and MODE_DESIGN, or MODE_TIMEWARP

Thanks

Easiest way to find out a solution in javascript is through AEM page URL.

  1. If the URL contains ëditor.html" then it is TOUCH UI
  2. If the URL contains "cf#" then it is in classic view.

This could work for now However, if someone changes these URL's ( through config or adobe next release), this solution wont work.

Adding to what already said about using cq api,  just make sure cq widgets do not get loaded on publish instance. - Jitendra
